ABOUT
Marieke Staps is a designer currently based in Tilburg the Netherlands. In 2008 she graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in the department Man & Activity.
Her work is inspired by technique and craftmanship. But sometimes the smallest things in life can also be an inspiration to her work.
Her way of working is to start big with all the imagination she has. The starting point is almost impossible. Then she takes up the challenge and creates functional and clear design.
'Challenge yourself to inspire others'
